Well, 5 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: we'll start with Ben Ull and ask others to raise 6 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: your hand if you have a question. Um, and we'll 7 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: try to keep this short. It is Matt Patricia's birthday 8 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: to day, and I promised I would.

Thanks, appreciate, appreciate everybody's time here. So thanks 11 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: days for selling me out right there? All right, Well, 12 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: I'll try not to waste too much of our time here, 13 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: but I do have to ask, what's what is there 14 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: any meaning behind the skull and crossbones? Uh? There, yeah, 15 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: you know what. Sorry, just one of the hats I had, 16 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: and I apologize. But some of my military friends, you know, 17 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm always, uh you know, just conscious of all some 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: of the men and women that are out there right now. 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: So pretty much usually where a military hat around when 20 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: I can gotcha. Um, curious about yours and bills. General 21 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: philosophy on the importance of establishing the run and having 22 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: balance early in the game. Yeah. Um, you know, I 23 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: think balance is a great part of our game, and 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: I think that it comes in different forms. Um. And 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we'll go into the game saying, all right, hey, 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to run the ball, um, you know, 27 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: early on, and try to establish some balance early. So 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of games sometimes where you know you 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: just can't run it early based on what you're seeing 30 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: from the opponent, and you know you have to try 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: to get back to the run. But I think it's 32 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: important to be able to run the ball. Um. We've 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: been involved with games where we haven't run the ball 34 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: a lot either and still been able to kind of 35 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: control the game from that aspect of it. So it's 36 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: only something that you look at every single week and decide, hey, 37 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: you know what do the run? What's the run game 38 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: look like, what's the best way for us to do 39 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: that if we can, or if there's a different direction 40 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: we have to go. I think it's always good as 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: a offensive lineman, you kind of want to get out 42 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: there and run the ball as much as you can, 43 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: So I think that's always a great way to start. 44 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: But sometimes that's not how the game is set up 45 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: that particular a week, but it is something we look at, 46 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: you know, trying to have balance whenever we can. Yeah, 47 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: I mean David Andrews said the other day that it's 48 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: kind of your fastball and that when you guys fell 49 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: behind that you lost your fastball. It did it feel 50 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: like that? No, I mean I think that just in general. 51 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: You know, again, there's an old lineman you'd love to 52 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: be able to run the ball, But there's certain situations 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: in the game when the clock gets to a certain point, 54 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: maybe the situation where the score is in a certain area. 55 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes you know, you just can't get to some of 56 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: those plays as much as you'd like to, kind of 57 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: kind of go in a different direction. All right, Cool, 58 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: thanks a lot, Matt, You're welcome. I'm gonna jump ahead. 59 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: I'll come back to you, Chris, but we're gonna go 60 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: ian steel fall bit kar ingredient. Hey man, how are 61 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: you goodie? And how you're doing good? Good? Um? I 62 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you, just, you know, about how you're 63 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: dealing with the workload. You got the offensive line, you 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: have your other advisor duties, whatever those may be. How 65 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: are you kind of dealing with all the stuff that 66 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: you have been asked to do this season. Yeah, um, 67 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: you know what I love. I love football, I love 68 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: working here. I love obviously the organization and Coach Belichick 69 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: has been kind enough and and you know to entrust 70 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: me with a lot of different areas, and you know 71 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: that's something I take a lot of great pride in 72 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: and certainly, if you know, if coaches asking me to 73 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: do something, I'm gonna try to do, you know the 74 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: best that I can at that job and put all 75 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: my attention to all the details of all the different 76 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: areas of whatever I'm needed to do. So from that 77 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: aspect of it, you know, I just I love the game. 78 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: I love all of it. I love every aspect of 79 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: of it. And certainly being around coach as much as 80 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I can be and learn and grow and do all 81 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: that is you know that's invaluable to me. So I 82 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: enjoy all of it. It's fun, you know, and just 83 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: you got to manage your time little bit here and there, 84 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: but other than that, it's it's great. Next question Karen 85 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: Greegen follow by Phil Perry A mad happy birthday. Thank you, Karen. 86 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I know you've called defensive plays for 87 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: quite a quite a while, and now you're calling offensive plays. 88 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: How different is it and is it something that you're 89 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: sort of you know, trying to get a handle on. Um. 90 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think, you know, just certainly, whatever I've 91 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: done in the past, you know, I had a lot 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: of years of doing that, which was great for me. 93 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: And you certainly improve in those roles as you as 94 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: you go forward and move along and get experienced. I 95 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: would say, just like anybody in any job that they do, 96 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, certainly obviously the experience that you get, the 97 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: more you do the job than you know, the better 98 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: it gets, which is great. Um. I think I was, 99 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, lucky enough to start on the offensive side 100 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: of the ball a long time ago and maybe see 101 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: a different transition. And you know, I certainly I worked 102 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: for Charlie Weis, who was a great offensive coordinator, and 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, and Josh came over to the offensive side 104 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: of the ball and I watched him learn and grow 105 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: from that aspect of it too, and before I switched 106 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: over to defense. So, um, I think all of that 107 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: is stuff that you know, you just understand. Hey, it's 108 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: part of the processes you go through. I think one 109 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: of the things for me right now, honestly, is just 110 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: I have a we have a great staff, you know, 111 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: that just works together and really in a big collaborative 112 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: manner that tries to help, you know, put everything in 113 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: order and you know, put the game plans together and 114 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: put the practices and the things that we want to 115 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: try to do. So it's really just a it's really 116 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: a collaborative effort right now, from that aspect of it. 117 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: Thanks Matt, You're welcome. Next question. Phil Perry followed with 118 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: the code of Randall. Hey man, how are you good? Phil? 119 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: How are you doing good? Um? I just was curious, 120 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, first regular season game in between series and 121 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: how things function there where obviously you're coaching the offensive line. 122 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: I'm just curious if you feel if you felt like 123 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: on Sunday that you got enough time with Mac to 124 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: sort of have whatever exchanges you guys need to have 125 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: as you're preparing for what's coming next here. And how 126 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: does Gel factor into the equation, maybe relaying some information 127 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: that he gets from Mac to you as you guys 128 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: get ready offensively. Yeah, definitely. Um, you know, the headsets 129 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: are are pretty cool. You know, there's a lot of 130 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: people on the headsets and you have guys up top 131 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: that have different responsibilities and they're giving you information down below. 132 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: Obviously the coaches on the field that are talking to 133 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: the position groups. Um, you don't necessarily have to be 134 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: standing right next to somebody in order to be communicating 135 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: with them, which is a great part of it. We 136 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: have different lines on our headsets, so we can switch 137 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: to different channels and talk to different maybe isolated groups 138 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: if we need to get direct communication back and forth 139 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: whatever that, you know, maybe from what we're seeing in 140 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: the game. So I think all of that stuff is 141 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: something we always try to improve on and we always 142 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: try to get better, and certainly every game that we've had, 143 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: starting with the preseason to the regular season, there's been 144 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: different things that we've been able to learn to try 145 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: to communicate better as we go. And you know Joe 146 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: over there obviously working with Mac and Hoyer directly on 147 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: the bench, I'm just clicked on with them and we're 148 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: talking back and forth as I'm working through with the 149 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: offensive line. You know Billy Yates upstairs, and obviously the 150 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: other coaches on those lines too, So it's really just 151 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: like a big conversation all happening at the same time, 152 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: and we have an order of sequence that we go 153 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: through with that communication so that we're all getting the 154 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: information that we need out of the plays, you know, 155 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: from from the particular series that we just got done with. 156 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: So just continually trying to streamline that info. But it's great. 157 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if there's something I need, I can just 158 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: walk down and you know, we're can have different conversation 159 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: at that standpoint too, if it's something maybe that I 160 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: saw on a picture that you know, I want to 161 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: show or go down there. It's pretty neat with all 162 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: the technology and how we can kind of communicate without 163 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: being necessarily right in the same spot. Got thanks, Matt, 164 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: You're welcome. Next quession and Dakota Randall follow by Mark Daniels. Hey, Matt. 165 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: During the summer of players talked about how your experience 166 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: on defense, you know, it's helping you transition over to 167 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: the offensive side. I guess now that you're out there 168 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: calling plays, and how much does that experience with defense 169 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: translate in real time as you're calling plays during the 170 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: game or is it more relevant during the preparation for 171 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: game day. Yeah, you know, that's a good question. I 172 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: think certainly as you're going into the preparation of the 173 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: game day you're looking at tape, it's it's a lot 174 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: you have a lot of time to kind of digest 175 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: the information and maybe look at the nuances of the 176 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: particular scheme that you're getting ready to face within the game. 177 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: You know, there might be certain things that I can 178 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: recognize just from my experience on that side of the ball, 179 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: but and see it and be able to try to 180 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: get it explained. You know, in between the series. The 181 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: pictures are great for us too when we come to 182 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: the sideline to be able to see those situations. But 183 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think all the coaches do a really 184 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: good job of making sure that we understand what our 185 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: opponent does and things that they're going to try to 186 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: do against us, and making sure that when those come 187 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: up on the field, that we identify them and then 188 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: communicate it to everybody right away. So I think just 189 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: in general, you know, the longer you've been around the 190 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: game or at the game at this level, there'll be 191 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: things that tend to repeat. You know, the game is 192 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of a copycat league at times, and 193 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: there's things that will come up that you've seen before 194 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: that you may recognize from a previous game or you know, 195 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: previous year or whatever that might be. Thank you. I'm 196 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: gonna try to try to finish with three final questions 197 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: here if we can keep it to one question per person. 198 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: Mark Daniels followed by Bob Soci and Matt Hope Ball 199 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: as well. Um. You know, I think obviously Mac Jones 200 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: showed a lot of toughness, and that's a part of 201 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: being an NFL player. You know, he gets hurt, he 202 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: sticks out and finishes the game. What have you learned 203 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: from Mac when it comes to his mental toughness, you 204 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: know as a player. M I mean, certainly he is 205 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: an extremely mentally tough, very cerebral, very smart player. He's 206 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: physically tough, and I think one of the things that 207 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: you realize in this league, if you're an NFL quarterback, 208 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: you have a tremendous amount of toughness about you. You know, 209 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: you stand in that pocket and you play the game 210 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: and you have to, you know, just look at the 211 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: field and look at the defensive across from you and 212 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: try to decipher a lot of information and amount of 213 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: time and get the communication out and then play a 214 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: physical part of the game too. And I think all 215 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: of that is just combined in that position, and certainly 216 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that has shown us that, 217 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, he can do that at a high level. 218 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: So very very tough, tough individual, which is which is 219 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: great to have a quarterback. Thank you, last two questions 220 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: aboub so seeing Chris, Ryan, Thanks, Stay's happy birthday, Matt, 221 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: Thanks mom. Hey, I want to look ahead to next 222 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 1: week and the Steelers. They forced turnovers on four of 223 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: the first five possessions against the Bengals, a lot of 224 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: sacks on Burrell, pressure throughout. What do you see from 225 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh defensively, and I'm curious if you see any imprints, 226 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: albeit early from your former colleague here, Ryan Flores. Yeah, 227 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think all of that is one hundred 228 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: percent accurate. I think they played extremely fast. I think 229 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: they played aggressive. They were able to generate really good 230 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: pass rush upfront. I thought they pushed the middle of 231 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: the pocket extremely well. They have some really you know, 232 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: good players inside obviously edge players that can get around 233 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: the edge. Two and then you know, I think they're 234 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: coverage guys. They just read the quarterback really well. You know, 235 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: I think they made some huge plays. We're able to 236 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: kind of start fast um, certainly with the intersection early 237 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: in the game and return that and kind of you know, 238 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: get a jump into the game itself. I just thought 239 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: they defensively were you know, playing very aggressive early in 240 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: the game, really had good vision on the quarterback. I 241 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: thought they read the read the routes really well, they 242 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: matched it really well. Um, I didn't feel like, you know, 243 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: really like Broke could really hold the ball that long. 244 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: I thought there was a lot of you know pressure 245 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: on them right now, and there's some scheme things in 246 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: there certainly where they brought some edge pressure from some 247 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: from some secondary players and different linebacker pressures that they 248 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: can bring from some of their defensive units that they 249 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: have that are certainly things that we've seen before or 250 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: um some packages maybe that we recognized from from previous games. 251 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, I think b flows doing 252 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: a great job of kind of you know, blending into 253 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: that defensive unit obviously, uh you know, trail us and 254 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: does a great job of coordinating that. But I think, 255 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, there's definitely some influence there too, which is 256 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, part of every single years as coach grow 257 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: and schemes grow. Thanks Matt yep and last question, Chris 258 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: Ryan Hey, Matt happy birthday as well. Um, wanted to 259 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the offensive line coming out of 260 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: the Miami game, in particular the performances of Cole Strange 261 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: and Trent Brown. Yeah. Um, you know, I think the upfront, 262 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,599 Speaker 1: the guys, they really tried to give great effort. I 263 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: think they played hard. Um, certainly, there's some areas that 264 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: we got to improve on and playing really I would 265 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: say in our first kind of Um, you know, it's 266 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: called hostile environment with there's a lot of noise and 267 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: being on the road, you don't really get a good 268 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: sense of that in preseason. So the communication aspect of 269 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: it is something that, uh, you know that we've got 270 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: to keep working to improve on and get better, and 271 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: it'll be another big challenge for us. I mean, Pittsburgh 272 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: is very loud. You know, that's a definitely great environment 273 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: to go play football in. And I think one of 274 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: the things that the challenge is for you know, five 275 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: guys up front is to be able to see the 276 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: game through the same set of eyes. And certainly with 277 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: Cole making his first you know start in the NFL 278 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: and playing James coming in and you know, being able 279 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: to rotate through and playing everybody that we you know, 280 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: try to have out there at the game. Yadne came 281 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: into and working those guys through the game. You know, 282 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: our first game there, I thought it was you know, 283 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things to build on from that 284 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: aspect of it. There's certainly some things that we got 285 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: to get better on and we got to improve, but 286 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: that happens to the course of an NFL you know, season, 287 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: and part of guys playing together for a consistent amount 288 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: of time. You know, some of the previous games maybe 289 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: they were just in there together, you know, call it ten, fifteen, 290 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: twenty plays at the most. So when you get up 291 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: to sixty, obviously there's more opportunity where you just have 292 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: to be in tune to the same things that you're 293 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: seeing across the ball. Thanks you're looking back, yep, everybody, 294 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: have a great day. Thanks for the birthday wishes. I 295 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks everyone,
